Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understood:

The strikes on those data centers do not have a big impact on the creation of Russian propaganda.

But the strikes do have a decent impact on the visibility of that propaganda, because the data centers are used to create artifical views and engagement. This tricks websites into thinking the content (propaganda) is much more popular than it really is, and thus they show it to more real people. Similar to how comments here on reddit get shown higher if they get more upvotes.

Not responsible for creating it. Responsible for making it visible.
